Here's where you can follow the collegiate careers of three great former UCSC swimmers:

(I know I'm missing someone, so please let me know and I'll add on)

Taylor Swyers is playing water polo for the University of Redlands, in Redlands, California, as a freshman.

Check out the water polo team news here. Glancing at the schedule and results page, I note they've seen a lot of action, and appear about 22 and 9, quite a good record.

Molly Jennings is in her second year of swimming for Milliken University, in Decatur, Illinois. Here's their swimming home page.

November 11, the Milliken women beat rival Augustana 136-66, and Molly is mentioned in the writeup:

Women’s 400 yd. Free Relay of Bielecki, senior Mia Gardiner (Marion, H.S.), sophomore Farrin Gregg (Elwood, Ind., H.S.), sophomore Molly Jennings (St. Louis, Mo., Ritenour) - 4:10.81.

Finally, Emily Lenard, a freshman at Hendrix College, in Conway, Arkansas, has been hard at work as well. We're not sure, but we suspect the above photo, from the Hendrix team's site, is of Emily, who's been tapped mainly for fly and IM, including quite a bit of relay action.

There's a lovely photo of Emily in her team polo shirt here, and she was mentioned with praise (as a "highlight") in the writeup of her first meet:

Highlights from the day included the team of freshmen Emily Lenard of St. Louis, Mo., and Allison Miller of Springdale, Ark., and sophomores Jane Santa Cruz of Dallas, Texas, and Claire Allison of Berryville, Ark., taking second place in the 200 yard Freestyle Relay. Other highlights included Lenard’s second place finish in the 200 yard individual medley and sophomore Katie Greshowak’s of Austin, Texas, win in the 1 meter diving competition.

The Hendrix women are a young team, with only two seniors, and they're looking forward to moving into a brand-new pool next season, which should help with future teambuilding by attracting more swimmers.
